Screen colors

Back in the day when having a color monitor was a big deal, white on blue seemed to be a standard default (thing WordPerfect for DOS) and worked well. I've also worked on black on blue, black or white on red (until my officemate and boss both asked me to change it because it disturbed them) and black on green. The really old monitors where it was green on black or amber on black worked well, too. Maybe what you really need, though, is to just make the letters bigger. In a Word-type program, making the screen letters (does not affect print output) 130% to 150% of the chosen font size really helps me.

I use a nonalcohol screen cleaner for my LCD screen and it leaves a film all over it. Nasty and
it is made for LCD screens and a well known name. Any suggestions. I have to use clean water on a wipe to get the film off.
I have an Acer LCD screen for my computer and sometimes I see the screen getting darker and then
lighter. I hope this isnt going out already. It is fairly new.
She is all colors -
She has a sandy color and some black highlights on er body, dark brown ears and face -
I thought she was going to be a very big dog for a Peke, but since she has finished throwing up and pooping all day, she seems to have lost a considerable amount of weight and now is back to a good size.
I don't think she is a sickly dog - I just think she overate too much of a new food yesterday. They bought kibbles and bits when they had been feeding her a plain hard food from a pet supply.
Today she is eating and drinking fine. I read that if you let them the pekes will definitely overeat and get fat.
She is doing pretty good with leash training, but when she gets tired she just lays down and you cannot get her to move; have to pick her up and carry her back in at that point.
paint colors..
Go to sites like Lowes.com click project center, interactive disign tools and try Armstrong design-a-room or olympic paint color guide. These will give good tips as well as let you select colors and see them on walls and ceiling to see what they look like.
I recently remodeled. Hubby's childhood home. He had never seen anything but white wall anywhere. I love to cook so afterwards we looked back and paint names were sage, olive, thyme, ginger peach, merlot, moonshine.
They have a paint calculator there as well to make sure you don't over buy, but we did buy extra for later touch ups or "oopses" that happen.
Most stores now have a computer that you can take your pillow sham or comforter in and they can scan the color content and either mix the almost exact color you want or tell you which ones they have in stock that match.
Some recommend mixing paint with your white to match a little closer for ceiling. My ceilings were all ultrawhite. I loved the crisp white feeling. Hubby said looked like crayola box exploded. I figured okay so what if it made it look a little smaller? The room is the same size. (mainly for selling factors). I said if I paint it where it looks big and still stump my toe on furniture what difference does it make, it is still the same size room! But I was happy with my choices.
The colors would not be my first choice, but...
I would move into it in a hot New York minute. It beats the baby-puke green house at the end of my cul-de-sac. I think it looks kind of funky and here where I live funky is a good thing. Of course it depends on what part of town you live in too. LOL.
I went with more rich colors in my home
I am not into the lighter colors. I have the white woodwork with white plantation shutters but my rooms are anywhere from cobalt blue (kitchen) to an eggplant in the dining room. Just got new slate in my bathroom with the golds, blues and the like and wondering if I should paint the walls there (this is a fairly new home for me, so doing bit by bit as far as decorating). I have a white bedroom but that may change also (just had new dark blue carpeting put in that room). I always leave my ceilings white. I love my workroom (which used to be a child's bedroom) because I had the room painted a dark colonial blue and it is heaven to work where I love the color so much but then again for once I love all the colors in my home. It was not always like this and I have about 3 gallons of paint in the garage that I tried and just did not like, returned and got another color that I did like. So far 5 rooms painted and counting.
And guests have been wearing colors, etc. for too long

Or netting in school colors like they do for weddings? nm

Good luck but horses don't change colors
I so get not wanting *to leave with regrets* - so do your thing and don't waste the same amount of time you might have prior!!
Next time, don't wear your gang colors and leave

LCD Screen--sm
First, you are not supposed to use any type of cleaner except one designed specifically for it. no Windex or such. I use a *microfiber* cloth, damp. It works just fine.
Second, I have NEVER pulled out my eyebrows and used pencils or brushes to make them look fake. God gave me what I have, and that is all the *beauty* I need. Take it or leave it...don't like it? don't need you in my life. JMO. :^)
Where I got my screen name..sm
Well I have always had pretty much platinum blonde hair since a teenager. It isn't natural but I always dyed it very light blonde and still do. Hence the name blondie. When I put in a screen name somewhere years ago blondie was taken so it gave me blondie_1147 and I have used it since.
My screen name is a bow to the Beatles (sm)
George Harrison is my favorite all-time musician. I love him, love him, love him. He made the guitar sing. I love the Beatles as well.
I've never seen Paul in concert. He was never my favorite Beatle but wrote my favorite Beatles song (Lady Madonna), but I'd never pass up a chance to see him in concert. Are you going to see him?
I absolutely love the music around the time of Revolver and Rubber Soul.
Screen names...how did you come up with yours?
So how or why did you come up with the screen name you use here?
blondie_1147, deenibeeni, cherrychecked, phillygal, LinK, Just the big bad, backward typist, gourdpainter, PAMT, PAMT~MDM, mtmomof2, Twiters, XanaX, Silly Girl, Old part-timer, SkateGirl, Just Me, starving artist, Horski, Lolabug, GabbyChick, Kendra, sbMT, Kaydie, Marmann, Amanda, Stardust and all others?
Are you flashing your computer screen?

I had blue screen errors sm
Turns out my memory in my computer was corrupted, then I took it out and they sent new memory and turns out the motherboard went bad, so it had to be replaced. Might be your motherboard, hope its under warranty! But try removing the memory from under your computer.
Blue Screen for Vista
1 - First Check for the Vista updates.
2 - See your power settings, like auto turn off hard drives, monitor, hibernate, sleep etc.
3 - Run Spyware & anti-virus.
4 - There are few reports that Adobe Reader causes the Blue Screens in Vista, you should better uninstall it.
If not solved, then it's hardware issue, consult your vendor.
HTH,
Sara.
Mine is on the Yahoo toolbar at the top of the screen.
Do you see the Yahoo toolbar?
I just use the answer machine to screen calls - sm
if its a recorded call, it doesn't record. If it's a sales call, they rarely leave a message, and if they do, I erase it. If I need to be available to family members, I tell them to identify themselves in the message, and I'll pick up.
I use the answering machine to screen calls too--sm
if it is something important and they begin to leave a message, I will answer, otherwise I won't. Most of the time, they will not leave a message.
The do not call list is helpful, but not for everything. If you really want to take the time, you can answer the phone and before they start their pitch, tell them nicely that you wish to be removed from their call list. They are supposed to remove you. If they call back after that, you can report them to the do not call list and they will be fined for it. Also ask for the name of who you are speaking to. Sometimes two or three different people from the same place have your number and even though you ask to be removed from one person calling, the next may not know that and call you anyway. It took me almost a week of doing this on a daily basis and eventually the calls stopped. It takes time, but it works. oh, heavenly peace and quiet!
Does anyone that has a digital camera with only the LCD screen and not the viewer know where you can
find a shader to put over the LCD screen for washout.
I am using gray screen and black type. (nm)

I know one thing - a BLUE screen is NOT good
nm
I think you do have to go all out. A therapist and drug screen would be first priority nm

My mom was so addicted the QVC logo was burned into her TV screen
Made watching movies hard. :-)
I just installed a new ink cartridge in the HP and now everytime I turn it on the screen comes up
about printing the alignment page. I dont know how to get rid of this screen coming up all the time.
Two things. Every time I clean my LCD screen with cleaner for it it gets streaky. How do you get
rid of the streaks when you clean it. Also another issue, I got tired of always pulling out eyebrows and I am letting them grow in. Anymore do this and how bad does that look.
Just bought a Kodak digital camera without optical viewer and find the LCD screen is very difficult
to see what you are taking in bright sunlight. I just read on the internet this happens with many cameras. Any suggestions for this. I dont want to spend tons of money on a camera because I dont use them that often but I am not very happy with this. I tried to get a camera with the optical viewer but almost none of them except the really high end had this. A lot of people complain about this LCD washout. Just wondered if there is any fix for this without getting another camera. This is a Kodak Easyshare. Great in cloudy weather or inside but the sun is another story. 
The pc screen. I scanned again and it stopped. I dont think I scanned the alignment sheet properly
the first time.
New battery. Mine is rechargeable. The battery runs the LCD screen.
